A friend has sent us an illustrative photo of the unstoppable technical evolution in production. We have managed to reduce the size of those huge governors from decades ago to the smallest size possible without changing their performance.

 Thank you very much for the photo, Fede!

“We’ve got the photo! It was a long time coming due to the number of public and private commitments that both Carlos and Raúl had to deal with and the fact that the photo had to be processed so that it could be seen properly (it was taken at dawn and with the sun behind Carlos), but at last we can show it to you.

COMPACT tensing pulley is a product designed to provide the tension required for the rope going through a standard governor's groove. Unlike the usual tensing pulleys, which use masses to generate tension, these masses have been removed from our COMPACT pulleys replacing them with springs.

This is a very compact design, with minimum dimensions, perfect to be used in installations with a reduced headroom and pit.

Our climbers have just come back from the Himalayas and while waiting to compile all the information on their great feat, we have just received sad news: The Spanish climber Juanjo Garra died at the slope of the Dhaulagiri (8,167m), after having conquered its summit.
